It's not difficult. Corporations won't put up with this shit and MS knows it, so there are (almost) always documented registry entries or GPO policies you can set to disable this crap.
But you shouldn't fucking have to. Which is why I'm now on Tumbleweed instead of Windows for my daily driver.
They could try but anything over a medium size business likely has a specific contract with Microsoft and they probably have language preventing this kind of thing. I know my company does. And there would be a ton of pushback from any security org that knows what they are doing, since ads are a common vector for security incidents.
Microsoft is already getting their money from the corpos, it's the 'freeloading' public they are trying to squeeze revenue from.
Worked on me. I left Win10 behind for linux a couple months ago. I installed Win11 in dual boot with an eval license but I just don't use it anymore. I'll probably just nuke it when the eval expires.
